An Indian Prayer - Closing

“Great Spirit, whose teepee is the sky and whose hunting ground is the earth, Mighty and fearful are you called.

Ruler over storms, over men and birds and beasts, Have your way over all -- Over earthways as over skyways.Find us this day our meat and corn, That we may be strong and brave.And put aside from us our wicked ways as we put aside the bad works of them who do us wrong.And let us not have such troubles as lead us into crooked roads, But keep us from all evil, For yours is all that Is -- the earth and the sky; the streams, the hills and the valleys, the stars, the moon, and the sun, and all that live and breathe.Wonderful, shining, mighty Spirit.”
